Star-product formalism in quantum and classical mechanics

A review of the symplectic, optical tomography and photon number tomography is presented. Both the set of quantum states and the set of classical states described by symplectic tomographic probability distributions (tomograms) are studied, and it is shown that the sets have common part but there exist tomograms of classical states which are not admissible in quantum mechanics and, vica versa, there exist tomograms of quantum states which are not admissible in classical mechanics. Negative probabilities in classical and quantum mechanics corresponding to tomograms of classical and quantum states are compared with properties of nonpositive and nonnegative density operators, respectively.

Probability representation of quantum mechanics and star product quantization

The review of star-product formalism providing the possibility to describe quantum states and quantum observables by means of the functions called symbols of operators which are obtained by means of bijective maps of the operators acting in Hilbert space onto these functions is presented. Examples of the Wigner-Weyl symbols (like Wigner quasi-distributions) and tomographic probability distributions (symplectic, optical and photon-number tomograms) identified with the states of the quantum systems are discussed. Properties of quantizer-dequantizer operators which are needed to construct the bijective maps of two operators (quantum observables) onto the symbols of the operators are studied. The relation of the structure constants of the associative star-product of the operator symbols to the quantizer-dequantizer operators is reviewed.

Abstract This paper presents a review of star-product formalism. This formalism provides a description for quantum states and observables by means of the functions called’ symbols of operators’. Those functions are obtained via bijective maps of the operators acting in Hilbert space. Examples of the Wigner-Weyl symbols (Wigner quasi-distributions) and tomographic probability distributions (symplectic, optical and photon-number tomograms) identified for the states of the quantum systems are discussed. Properties of quantizer-dequantizer operators required for construction of bijective maps of two operators (quantum observables) onto the symbols of the operators are studied. The relationship between structure constants of associative star-product of operator symbols and quantizer-dequantizer operators is reviewed.
